I'm posting on behalf of a person I was playing with that goes by the Gamertag "BR MLG Swift".
I played with him and six other people in the Team Snipers playlist over the weekend. We got matched up, loved playing against each other, and joined as a full party of 8 (with one or two people switching out and in on occasion). The teams were random, and we were all just playing and having a good time. On more than one occasion, myself (gamertag Aiec baidwin), BR MLG, and another player said it was the most fun they have had playing H3 to date.
The playlist ended and BR MLG had reached Major grade 2, pinning him on top of the rankings for the weekend playlist. I got on yesterday and played with him again, this time in DLC Big Team, and we started going at it again. Playing, hanging back, having fun playing the game. We hit nasty lag for about an hour, over and over again in the matches, then when he set his priority from "best connection" to "quickest", the problem ended. All around though, it was a good time.
I guess BR MLG did too well for your liking, Bungie, because he just messaged me saying he was EXP banned. I was shocked and furious. We played the game they way you allowed us to play and expected us to, and he was punished because he excelled. He got number 1 on the rankings in snipes and happened to be playing with a group of friends, so he was cheating? We all had bad lag for an hour or two and he still went positive in his K/D ratio, so he was using standby? Sounds like major 'blam' to me.
I'm asking on his behalf because he has no idea why this happened to him, and I told him I would ask you guys to take care of it. I had some faith in Bungie's ethics concerning their own community, but it seems to me like you're just looking for ways to bring down the banhammer and laugh. I'm still appalled that this happened, and I hope it gets sorted out very soon.
I'd like an email response if it's not too much trouble. v1tal_in4mati0n@yahoo.com
Please take care of this. I know the system works, but nothing is perfect. His EXP ban was definitely a flaw.
